I have had an email account for years and I do not have trouble logging in to any Microsoft accounts with that email and password.  I have had the pop3.live.com come up before but it has always accepted my password.  This time it will not accept my Microsoft account password.  I do not recall the other times exactly what it said, but I do not recall it being a .com server account.  I am confused, as I have tried several times to enter my Hotmail address and password but to no avail.  As you can see, my password works as  I am here writing this complaint in the community which required a user name and password.
